This beautiful lapel brooch lorgnette has 20 microns of gold fill and is studded with marcasite stones.

It measures 2 inches by 1 1/4 inches in the closed position. The brooch part measures 2 inches by 1/2 inch. The width of the lens frames is 4 inches. The overall width in the open position is 6 inches.

This lorgnette clips onto a lapel with the handle shown as a brooch on the lapel front. It is in excellent condition. It clips securely to a lapel. The frames spring open when the release clasp is pressed. The lenses are free from splits, cracks or scratches. There are no losses to the marcasite stones. It is marked 20 on the underside of the bridge which represents 20 microns of gold fill which is twice the usual thickness of gold fill.

This is an unusual lorgnette and also an unusual brooch, some may say quirky. It is a fully functioning lorgnette and can be used to read just like any eye glasses or spectacles. The lenses can be removed and replaced with your prescription lenses by your optician if the present ones do not suit you. This lorgnette can be worn on a lapel or it can be clipped on your blouse or anywhere you choose. Where or how you wear it depends on your own preference and imagination.
